Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

A method for the synthesis of 2,3,3-trimethyl-2-hydroxy-5-pyrrolidone has been developed. 3,3-Dimethyl-2-methylene-5-pyrrolidone is initially formed during its thermolysis and then readily dimerizes. 2,3,3-Trimethyl-2-cyano-5-pyrrolidone was synthesized by the reaction of 2,3,3-trimethyl-2-hydroxy-5-pyrrolidone with potassium cyanide.
